Discussion:
Economic Reasoning Paper
The subject of the second economic reasoning paper will be a news article (NOT an editorial or a blog post!) on an externality or public good topic that you locate and select. Good places to look for articles include The New York Times, The High Country News, and the Oregonian, but there are many, many more possible sources.
Write a 500-word paper to describe the externality or public good issue in the article and to argue in favor of a government policy measure that would be an appropriate response to the problem.
